The company specializes in standard and custom drilling and reaming tools — Piloted Reamers, Piloted Core Drills, Threaded Shank Drills, Step Drills, and Piloted Double Margin Drills — manufactured from High-Speed Steel (HSS) and Cobalt materials across Wire, Letter, and Fractional sizes and in Stub, Short, Long, Very Stubby, and Extra Long length configurations. The company was formerly known as Sun-Cal Manufacturing and now operates under the SCMT trade name. It offers both same-day and 24-hour AOG (Aircraft on Ground) emergency service, positioning itself as a responsive supplier for time-critical aerospace maintenance and manufacturing tooling needs, and provides counter-to-counter service in select areas.

The company serves the US aerospace and manufacturing industries nationwide, with a publicly listed enterprise customer base that includes major commercial airlines (Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, Korean Air), business aviation (Gulfstream, Jet Aviation), aerospace MRO operators (Empire Airlines, Neptune Aviation, Cascade Aerospace, KF Aero, Conair), and defense (L-3 Communications). The product portfolio is supported by a 145-page full line catalog and a re-sharpening service that extends tool life and adds recurring engagement with installed customers.

The business model is built on direct inside sales conducted via toll-free phone (844-400-3689) and email ([email protected]), with quote-based unit pricing subject to a $50 minimum order and NET 30 terms available to credit-rated buyers.
